Subject: [DEV] International Cup

---

you could do nothing for 10 years, then buy a good team, win national cup season 1, then win CC season 2 - impossible with INT cup, you need consistency for seasons in a row

you have a point here, but with new qualification for every new season the IC would be a big motivation to reach a better position in your national league. I would have preferred new qualifications to this promotion system.

I hope Geston talks the devs into giving us something in addition to the cup, 11th training position or less injury duration. Would be great.

We have to agree to disagree, because you are now bringing in factors like ratings that have nothing to do with a cup called Champions cup. And yes, to qualify you needed to make a squad, get all the way to first league, or Cup, win it, and then win CC. There was numerous factors that stopped a lot of teams from winning this Cup, and that helped some other teams win it a few times... so there was a way, and it is how the game was played

Saying it is now better because the average rating of teams is better or whatever, isnt valid for me... it is Champions Cup, and it is played by champions, not by team from Romanian 2nd league (with all repsect for my Romanian orthodox bros)

I see nothing against this being tier 2 competition. After some time we wil end up having 50-60% of teams from top 2-3 nations, and yes, I find it boring.

This will not be some progress, but rather a change in system of play. I mean, whatever, we will still be playing and all, but I do not see this as ste forward. Probably a side step

For me changing a small competition for 128 teams into a competition where everyone can participate is a step forward, also creating a competition with the highest level in club history is also step forward for me. This will be like World Cup for club teams.

You could've preferred CC, that's individual. For me it never really made sense that I could play against a 50-rating team, while team #2 from Italy, Romania etc. playing for 75+ couldn't participate. I saw it as a competition for all best teams and it wasn't that.

you could solve this problem with a country key like the UEFA ranking for champions league - with the chance for Kenya to promote in this ranking, if a club has good results. Of course in top level there should be the best teams.

Like I was writing, simply different approach and preferences
It will be much more often that we have semifinalists from usual countries, and much less chances of some weak team kicking a favourite out... but ok, that is how it is :)

Maybe to create a CC staying/not poll?

I agree.

I don't think it's a step forward.

I would also keep the Champions Cup, where the champions play.

And this International League, where everyone plays, would be an additional competition.

I want to play with the best teams and that means more money from sponsors and more money from tickets and with that way the game will be more intrested i think

All Bulgarian teams will be forced to play in this cup
Most of time not for me difference in rating will be too big to overcome so all fans and ranking points to go toward big countries
How this will affect me they will have less fans and lower expectations toward me so lesss income to those want to compete to top polish teams

I can overcome 10 ratings and 80 ratings team in one game check my cc performance to do that in group stage will be tough

Yes interesting cup but if is arcade

What bothers me domestic championship do not matter National cup do not matter we will lose national identity that will reflect on national teams do not start me on injuries and so many games national players will play...

Shiny idea but not well thought
